With Plasmas, it's not so much burn-in as it is the phosphors that produce the image aging at different rates. When I first got mine I played a few hours on the gamecube at full brightness, leaving a distinct outline of the Soul Calibur II life bar on the top. I panicked, read the net, where someone had advised that playing it on an untuned analogue station, essentially just playing the static, will erase it. Lo and behold, after about a week it was gone.
These days I've played for hours, even run a computer desktop on the screen for most of the day (granted at a low brightness) and there's been no remants that have lasted longer than the next power-on.
